About me:
: Looking for backpacking partners for
trips of 1+ months. I am not
particularly fast and prefer a leisurely
pace than looking for big miles,
meaning slow starts (10 or so
miles/day with progression up from
there). Considering SOBO thru hike of
the Arizona Trail starting around
10/1/2018 OR a NOBO/FlipFlop on the
AT from NY starting around June 16th,
after the AIDS/LifeCycle. Would also
consider a thru hike of the CT in 2018.
In other words, I am looking at a lot of
options for 2018.
About me (in an attempt to follow the
suggested items): I am 58 and married
to a great guy who is a fun weekend
warrior but not a long distance
backpacker. I am 5'9", 168 lbs, buzzed
hair (red and grey, full beard that is
mostly white with some red tossed in. I
am not sure how to describe my
spirituality other than to say it works
best outside - your basic nature
worshiper - I am very live and let live
concerning religion and hope others
are too. I eat all things besides
eggplant and actually love snickers
bars and ramen noodles (if you don't
backpack you might not get this). I like
just about all types of music although I
find formulaic top 40 pop and top 40
country to be repetitive and annoying.

Favorite Places:
: Crater Lake, Grand Canyon,
Southwest France, Scotland, the AT,
Denali NP, Canadian Rocky
Mountains, almost any place in the
desert, Oregon beaches, Northern
AZ/Vermillion Cliffs area, French
Polynesia, Boulder Utah, Canyonlands
NP and the other 4 national parks in
Utah....

Outdoor Experience:
: Completed 446 miles of the AT in 2016
but had to go off trail due to a foot
injury that required surgery. Lots of
road biking experience for my entire
adult life. AIDS/LifeCycle 2018
planned.
